Vicki Gunvalson is standing by her man and slamming naysayers who accuse Brooks Ayers of faking cancer! Brooks may be broker than a joke, but he certainly isn’t depraved enough to fake terminal illness, people! #NoICantBelieveThisIsAStorylineEither

This season Brooks comes under fire from Vicki’s fellow Housewives – specifically newbie Meghan Edmonds – who accuse him of making the whole thing up! Even Vicki’s daughter Briana even begins to question Brooks’ diagnosis and confides in Tamra Barney that she believes he may not really be sick!

Amid the rumors swirling around Brooks’ diagnosis, Vicki was asked on twitter why she doesn’t provide “proof” that Brooks is sick. Vicki shot back, “Stay tuned. They will all look like fools.” Vicki added that when you live with someone, they can’t fake cancer!

Brooks also defended himself and expressed his disgust that anyone would question his illness. He insists that as the season progresses we’ll see proof that he is indeed sick. “This storyline is nothing short of shameless,” Brooks tweeted. “The truth comes out.” For now, Vicki is still Brooks’ ardent supporter – she praised people on twitter for offering him support against his detractors. “He needs all the love, encouragement and support right now,” says Mama Vickster

Yes, Brooks does need all the support he can get – because even Vicki’s nearest and dearest vehemently doubt him. Brooks passive-agressively slammed Tamra for participating in questions about his diagnosis.

Well you heard it folks – Brooks has The Cancer, and it ain’t no lie!

Tonight RHOC returns with an all-new episode. The ladies – sans Vicki – head to Napa for the launch party of Heather’s new champagne. Unfortunately on the trip Shannon and David have a major marital meltdown. Meanwhile Meghan struggles to fit-in after an argument with Shannon. Also Tamra introduces the ladies to her new friends: her implants and Jesus.
